Melissas dilemma

Chapter 6

Melissa pov

I know anyone out there would think am going too far with this whole consent promise thing we did while we were kids, giving the fact that Angel wanted to act his name in my life by been my guardian Angel, protecting me from heartbreaks when he was the one breaking my heart cos i expected him to believe in me that i could make good decisions with offcourse his wisdom but no he chose to go the other way which seem to make me go over a little out of the box to set my mind on something else which was been sassy and a little mischievous. Well i love my brother to death and hurting him is not in my to-do list but you see, getting on his nerves, scheming and manipulating him, seeing him trying act his role as my elder brother so much makes me wanna laugh when i exhaust him like this and it’s usually fun and i like to have fun. So am going to try hard to act my part too been a protective younger sister who wants to make sure her brother is in safe hands too i have to act like am a little bit mean or that i dislike her. When she stepped in to my room last night asking after Angel I couldn’t stop gushing over the fact that she loves and cares for my brother and thats all i needed to find out for me to actually accept her and she also wanting to bond with me since we will be soon sissys-in-law, funny right, i know but i feel like sister-in-law is too old-fashioned for me. So i have always wanted to rebrand it at least for myself. Growing up as the only daughter in my family yeah the benefits are mind blowing and every girls dream where you are the center of everything in the family also has its implications too cos i was alone, no sister to play dresses and makeups with, or wear heels and sing to our imaginative audience, or gossip about future and boys, no one to tell stories of my crush(es) to. I was just surrounded and guarded by Angel and my papa sometimes i started feeling like i was suffocating with all that and my mama she didn’t want boys near me so she was fine with the up tight security and then the worst happened to me when i locked eyes with the most gorgeous beautiful transfer newbie in school. Yes i couldn’t use the word handsome on him cos mehhhnnnn he was so fine and hot and he got all the girls attention and unfortunately i feel for his beauty and that was my doom.

(Flashback 8 years ago)

As one of the influential personalities in school i was a granted some privileges some rules weren’t applicable to me but as a two time president of my school, an A student, three time winner of the 100 meter female race and a role model to my younger students i was awarded an office which if i choose to stay at any period of time it was overlooked but i chose not to over use my privileges hence the reason i didn’t see the newbie when he came to school and probably when girls kept gushing on him immediately he stepped foot in to the school compound and worse of it all he was in my class. Could i be more doomed.

After attending to my official duties in my office I decided it was necessary if I actually went to receive my lessons since thats the reason I attended school to start with. I packed my back bag and made sure everything was kept in place and checking my uniform that it wasn’t in the least rumbled, i locked the door rose my shoulders high and walked like the queen b that i was. Some students who were running in late saw me and thought i was going to reprimand them but i was in high spirits to care about them. Who knew why i was so happy I wondered only for me to step into the class and immediately locked eyes with that gorgeous boy. I didn’t know how long i stayed love struck checking him out but the lateness bell rang and saved me some embarrassments so i thought but some evil wicked and noisy friends of mine caught that moment and i knew they were going to make fun of me with it now, later and forever. I had to uphold the little dignity i had and walked to my desk and sat down. I was busy digging my own grave when my noisy ass b***h best friend Lulu, snapped me of my mental suicide mission.

Lulu

Back to earth dream girl, for your own safety i advice you to stop zoning out and be here with us, that boy ain’t gonna reach you as that boy has gotten all the girls love struck including some of the female teachers so my baby girl, am sure you don’t want your grades to suffer cos it will take a very very long time before it gets to you. Theres a long queue and you are at the bottom. She said giving me all the information to know that am actually doomed for life.

Me

Why would you think am interested in that boy, he’s not different from all out boys here in school so why will i run wait to have someone who is already to busy with his admirers, incase you forgot who i am, i am Mellisa Dawn Roberts i see what i like and want i will take it no matter who came first or whatever, and that newbie ain’t it. I said as a matter of factly and i literally saw my self esteem getting bigger and fatter. She was about saying something before our class mistress walked in and save me from actually ruining any chance i may have with that newbie and prayed silently to the goddess of love to pardon my foolishness and not take my chances away from me. Thankfully Lulu didn’t bother me till lunch time and i saw myself stealing glances at the boy from time to time when the teachers had their backs at us and again i knew how many times i had to mentally curse myself for been a coward.

After a very boring and long lessons, it was time for lunch, a time all the school gossip would be for told and narrated in details by my very up to date school blogger Armani. Armani is just our own version of that American journalist and tv presenter Christain Anampor. Be it the most weird, or crazy thing, whatever you guessed not to have happened that happened Armani will know it all, how she manages to get her information and witnesses to such activities is still a mystery to me as well, but who knows been the only child of a very extravagant Business Tycoon she no doubt must have had the school wired cameras even down to the principal’s office as she isn’t excluded from the sharp eyes and ears of Armani and she been the president for our school magazine and radio she executes her job well. And here we are to be tormented by her again with her stories and discoveries. Yes we all get the news first hand which was a blessing and a curse.

Armani

All am saying Lulu, a lot of situation-ships and everybody is going to see the end if the road now this newbie is here. I got news that the Apex girls has started making advances at him already, i wont be surprised if their ring leader Sarrah breaks up with her boyfriend today.

Lulu

Look no further for information i have just the one everybody will rush for. She said smirking wickedly at me, me also sensing that shes trying to sell me out had to kick her on the leg to get her attention back to me.

Awwuch Meli that hurts, do you have hammers for feet young lady she cursed me and i had to fake that i was oblivious to the fact that i hit her and also trying to soothe her pain.

Me

Am sorry Lulu didn’t know that was your leg. Am sorry.....

Lulu

Meli, meli look behind you.

Thank goodness my fake apology was interrupted when i saw the look on Lulu’s face and hearing what she said i turned my back and got the shock of my life.

‘Can i get to sit with you pretty one, i heard you are the president of the student government’.
